    While a fire alarm system may lower insurance Fire Alarm System Limitations rates, it is not a substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system–typically made up of Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and smoke detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, alarm only when heat on their sensors increases at a audible warning devices, and a fire alarm control with predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level.

  • Page 19: Design Considerations

    3. Design Considerations Limits The standard Fire•Lite EIA-485 circuit can drive up to 32 annunciators or expanders. The number of annunciators that can engage in two-way communication is dependent on the number of addresses available with a given fire alarm control panel. The actual number of annunciator/expander modules that can be powered in a particular system depends on the current available from the control panel’s power supply.
